Bull points
- So we reiterated that again in our prepared comments, and that's exactly what we saw in our Q4. So the largest customer was 61% of revenue. No surprise who that was. And we also had a 12% and an 11% customer. They were the same customers that you saw in Q2 past that 10% threshold. So kind of addressing your second point, we expect to continue our diversification throughout fiscal 26.
- And in addition to these three customers, we do expect to have two additional hyperscalers in the second half of fiscal 26 in addition to those three 10% customers.
- Revenue for fiscal year 25 was a record at $436.8 million, up 126% year over year, driven by product revenue that grew by 157%.
Bear points
- If you look at all of the different tape outs and leading nodes that we have planned over the coming fiscal year, our capex might be maybe double what it was this last year.
- So I believe we're in good position that even if we do see the kind of percentages increase that we've seen over the last 12 months, that we'll be in good shape.
- It seems like there's a lot of diversification going on.
